Skill matrix updated. BTW, I like the summoning incantation you came up with, it definitely has a good arcane vibe to it!
Justin, I just realized there's already a "Party Loot Log" page on there. The link is right under Journals.

Yep. I was figuring on being the one to populate it and maintain it.

Feel free. I maintain the loot in two games I play in, and it gets me nothing but grief most days if it isn't updated the instant treasure is received.
Any character complaining to Rath will be greeted with a 'compelling argument'...
I noticed missing the Silversheen in the special materials section ^^ and well probably an update with the equipment in the armory. I'm the only one with use magic device =S
Yep, I was a bit surprised that Pete didn't have any UMD. I think Biter might be going Rogue at 2nd level so we'll see if he picks up on any UMD when he gets back (wife gave birth to their first child about a week ago).
Great news for him ^^ hope everything is fine

CHA is 7, he he. Maybe I will pick one up at 3rd level, he he.
Oh! well no problems I'll just put in some more ranks there =) so don't worry to much about it ^^, sorry about the Ninja'd Alexis xD
No worries. As Naz already joked/hinted, Alexis is kind of wordy. I also tend to go back and edit for phrasing, typos, etc. multiple times so it's to be expected really. ;)

Oh! I do the same thing ^^, hope you like the "animated" incantation to summon my eidolon xD
Quite cinematic actually. Nicely done! :)
Well, i'll give you all a quik update before i dive back in. It has been a crazy week. Our little boy is healthy, but has some trouble feeding, so it's been a challenging week.
I had thought maybe i'd get the odd hour to post, but I really have't done anything but feed, clean, change diapers, eat, and sleep.
I hope you all are doing fine, and I'm still wanting to play, I'm just still not sure if that will be in a week or a month.
I hope that doesn't cause problem in the game, and I'll understand, Naz, if you need to sideline or remove Biter so the game can continue in my absence (it doesn't look like that's been an issue so far, though). Either way, I've appreciated your patience and kind words.
Until then, we're just humming along with my new "lvl 0 henchman" (phrase coined by our lovely Alexis in another thread).
I'll update you when i can, and let you know when i can post again.
Good luck with everything ^^ and we will bring Biter along so don't worry I doubt you will be sidelined =) just take care of the lvl o henchman
So who's for getting Biter stuffed to serve as party mascot?
Good to hear from you Ben! Also thanks for leveling Biter and noting your skill ranks and ACP. That's a BIG help!
As for getting him stuffed, doesn't that happen anytime the cooks set out a spread at mealtime? :D
No problem. I saw that i got "dibbed" for some MW chain shirt. That'd be awesome, but I believe it's still medium size? Should we assume someone modified it for me over the last few weeks? or does that still need to happen?
I'm all about reducing my ACP by 1.

If Nazard will allow it (I assure you it's ridiculously easy), then Alexis would have already handled the task while at sea.

Absolutely, that's fine by me.

Really its not like you don't have a dwarf with you all, he he.
Heh, a dwarf who is out-skilled in metalworking by a dainty elf girl.
<3
Alright, I'll update Biter's ACP and skills on the matrix... OK, updated!
Still working on Tracant's... OK, his are in there now too!
Heh, a dwarf who is out-skilled in metalworking by a dainty elf girl.

Truly, a case where the student outshines the teacher, he he.
Tracant speaks same languages I do ^^ so everyone knows it
Good to know, thanks for the heads-up.
BTW, I think Rath might be either away or in a spot with really bad connectivity this holiday weekend. He mentioned in an email last night, "I'm on a hella slow internet connection out in the sticks."
Let's hope he is ok at least ^^ so can summon nature ally bring a dove or something with white feathers xD
Hehe, well judging by the ruckus he caused last night in the game I'm DMing, I suspect he's probably having a good time and enjoying his spirits. ;)

Hey a little intra party conflict is a good thing, he he. Check out my LoF game Hazreem is in, and also my RotRL with my wizard Izbahn for some prime examples of this, he he.
Burnsten welcome to your first combat here. Just to make things easier on yours truly, I have a few little formatting rules I like to enforce.
I will indicate the start of every round by number in big bold type like this: . Periodically, when I have enough actions, I'll put together a narrative of the combat and indicate who is next to act like this: Elorin to act...
I love to have actions posted in advance as it allows me to keep things moving and to combine actions into a narrative. In order to keep things straight however (especially in this game where certain un-named individuals like to offer commentary during the combats), I ask people to use the following format for making combat action posts:
[ b]Round x:[/b][ spoiler]Action here[/spoiler]
without the spaces (obviously). It looks like this when posted:
Round 1:
This way, I can look back through the posts and see at a glance which ones are action posts and which ones are not.
On a side note, it's interesting to see the speed and progress of this game. I started running this campaign with another group here on Paizo over a month before this game and you are about to catch up as they just finished this encounter you are about to start.
And that's even with the incredible (and constant) role-playing that goes on here!!
Yeah, I recall you mentioning something about that within the last week or two. The next time I saw it float to-the-top after that, I was kind of surprised by the difference in post counts. It would be interesting if the main NPCs in each game were different and that we were actually competing expeditions that ended up coming across one another. :3

Sorry, don`t have that much time on my hands.
The other game ended up interacting a lot more with Sir Kheiron than yours, and hardly at all with Falcon Gray (and my RL version with both equally)!
Ok! understood ^^ will do my best
HAHA! Wow, I gotta give ya props on the bald-eagle owlbear there Colin. Did you decide to make that change in light of it being July 4th, or was it that way all along? :D
At any rate, I think Alexis is going to have a better idea as to why the Skraelings see white feathers as a sign of peaceful intentions. Clearly if the white feathers come from one of these beasties then the person bearing them is not only a bad-ass but has also strived against a monster than is a terror to all who dwell in these lands!
Owlbear ^^ I'll make a cloak out of him if I can, nice thing with the eagle hahaha
Yeah, looks like we'll have some white feathers too if we can survive! Although, might need to bleach them with prestidigitation to get all our blood off of them. ^_^;
Frank: Your last reply in-thread cracked me up. Reverse the genders of the two characters in the following strip and I think it highlights the differences in how Alexis and Burnsten think perfectly!
Have a great 4th!
Dang, and here I thought at least the fellow engineer would appreciate Alexis' copious use of exhaustive details. :P
Always a bald eagle bear, from the very beginning (check out the other thread if you don't believe me).
Being from north of the border, I never understood why you Americans choose to celebrate the 3rd day after Canada Day instead of the day itself, but then again yours was always a backward little nation.
It's kinda like how football is played primarily with the hands. It's our way of keeping everybody else guessing. ;)

LMAO yer darn right, I got a nice laugh
Naz, quick question, can I switch out a trait that hasn't come into play (the fearless one) for Country-born from the RotR players guide? It would be much more useful and won't be rendered moot when I take the anti-fear rage power later on. I realize it's kind of late, so I'll understand if the answer is no. Let me know.
Can we retrain feats? if the need ever arises of course
Can we retrain feats? if the need ever arises of course
Hmmm, not according to the Core rules. Of course, 3.5 had a retraining set of rules, in the PHB2, so I could see Nazard allowing this, but it is his call. Not sure if the APG for PF will have the rules as well.
Yeah it's for Tracan since at 6th level he can grow to large size but weapon finesse would be useles then.
Nazard: I tried doing some research on the entangle spell to try and save you some time.
While he doesn't offer a ruling, in two separate posts, Jason Bulmahn alludes that Entangle has been changed and is now more powerful:
http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/pathfinder/pathfinderR PG/general/archives/nimbleMovesAcrobaticSteps&page=1#5
http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/olderProducts/pathfind erRPGBeta/design/magic/welcomeToTheMagicAndSpellsPlaytest&page=1#0
I wasn't able to find any posts by James Jacobs or Sean K Reynolds that clarify if it is now "smart" or not, however the wording for the spell is no longer the same as the 3.5 SRD version so it appears to be an intentional change. For ease-of-reference, here's the two versions:
http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/entangle.htm
Grasses, weeds, bushes, and even trees wrap, twist, and entwine about creatures in the area or those that enter the area, holding them fast and causing them to become entangled. The creature can break free and move half its normal speed by using a full-round action to make a DC 20 Strength check or a DC 20 Escape Artist check. A creature that succeeds on a Reflex save is not entangled but can still move at only half speed through the area. Each round on your turn, the plants once again attempt to entangle all creatures that have avoided or escaped entanglement.
Note: The effects of the spell may be altered somewhat, based on the nature of the entangling plants.
I'm OOCing unchanged text...
http://paizo.com/PRD/spells/entangle.html
This spell causes tall grass, weeds, and other plants to wrap around foes in the area of effect or those that enter the area. Creatures that fail their save gain the entangled condition. Creatures that make their save can move as normal, but those that remain in the area must save again at the end of your turn. Creatures that move into the area must save immediately. Those that fail must end their movement and gain the entangled condition. Entangled creatures can attempt to break free as a move action, making a Strength or Escape Artist check. The DC for this check is equal to the DC of the spell. The entire area of effect is considered difficult terrain while the effect lasts.
If the plants in the area are covered in thorns, those in the area take 1 point of damage each time they fail a save against the entangle or fail a check made to break free. Other effects, depending on the local plants, might be possible at GM discretion.
Following is the most relevant discussion on the aspect of the spell, but sadly none of the devs commented on it. It seems that there's a good bit of division over how it should be ruled:
http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/pathfinder/pathfinderR PG/rules/entangledInEntangleThe only insight that I can offer is that while affecting only foes (or simply not affecting party members) is significantly more powerful, this may be offset by the fact that the DC to break free is now only a move action and the DC of the Strength/Escape Artist check equals the Save DC of the spell (DC 16 in Gregor's case) instead of the old DC of 20.
Anyway, hope this is helpful. If anyone else is able to find a developer post on the issue then more power to ya!
Alexis and Nazard,
In another of my PbP games here, my druid asked this question earlier this evening, and the DM gave his response HERE
Well this will fall in the "House Rule" section I suppose, but it should be able to choose the foes with entangle I suppose.
